We died on the same day
my sister and me.
The tragic sense of loss
from my friends and my boss
but not from my family.
For everyone dies in twos in my clan.
Mom died the same day as Aunt Anne,
while Uncle Jim crossed over in the middle of October
along with my dear cousin, Jann.
So it came to pass
Sister died at last
after being so ill for a week.
If only I’d known
it was my time to go.
I thought it would be cousin Zeke.
